There is a reason Marvel's Agent Carter keeps coming up in conversation. Marvel's Agent Carter treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. It's 1946, and peace has dealt Peggy Carter a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad. Working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy must balance doing administrative work and going on secret missions for Howard Stark all while trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life - Steve Rogers. Hayley Atwell and James D'Arcy lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. Across 2 seasons (2015–2016), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. What separates Marvel's Agent Carter from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Sci-fi fans who want ideas alongside the spectacle will find Marvel's Agent Carter genuinely rewarding. The tonal similarities to The Six Million Dollar Man are real, though Marvel's Agent Carter carves out its own identity quickly. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Hayley Atwell grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.
